ʻO ke awāwa ʻo Panchpokhari, aia ma kahi kiʻekiʻe o 4100 mau mika ma luna aʻe o ka ʻilikai, he wahi hoʻokipa maikaʻi a ʻaʻole hoʻi ka huakaʻi ma Nepal. ʻO Panchpokhari, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻelima paona, ʻo ia kekahi o nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi koʻikoʻi a me nā wahi hoʻomana i ka Apana Sindhupalchowk, aia ma ka hikina akau o Kathmandu. Noho ʻo ia ma ka ʻūhā o Dorje Lakpa Himal, he wahi huakaʻi koʻikoʻi ka loko loko no nā Hindu. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ʻo ke kaikuahine o Gosainkunda – ka loko kiʻekiʻe ma ka moku ʻo Rasuwa.
He awāwa mauna ʻo Panchpokhari. ʻO ia kekahi o nā ʻāina wai kiʻekiʻe koʻikoʻi ʻeiwa a hiki ke kipa ʻia mai ʻApelila a Kepakemapa. Ua uhi ʻia ka wahi e ka hau no ke koena o ka makahiki. ʻO kēia puʻupuʻu o ka loko wai maʻemaʻe ke kumu kumu o ka muliwai ʻo Indravati - kekahi o nā kahawai koʻikoʻi o ka muliwai Saptakoshi ikaika.
He waiwai nō hoʻi ia wahi i nā mea ulu a me nā holoholona. Ma kahi o 250 mau ʻano holoholona hihiu, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Red Panda i hoʻopau ʻia, a me 350 mau ʻano mea kanu i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma kēia wahi. Pēlā nō, ʻo ka moʻomeheu a me ka nohona o Hyolmo a me Tamang ka poʻe ʻo ia nā mea hoihoi ʻē aʻe o ia wahi. Manaʻo ʻia ka ua mai Mei a Kepakemapa. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā ʻano pua waihoʻoluʻu ma nā pāpū ākea, a i ʻole Patan, o kēia awāwa mauna, kahi i hoʻohui ʻia i ka nani o kēia wahi.
Ma waho aʻe o nā loko maʻemaʻe, kaulana nō hoʻi ia wahi no ka nānā mauna. Hāʻawi ka wahi i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o nā piko mauna like Ganesh Himal, Yangri Himal, Dorje Lakpa, a me Gaurishankar. E lilo ia wahi i mea hoʻonani i ka wā ʻo Janai Purnima ʻahaʻaina i ka wā e hele ai nā haneli he nui i kēia wahi hoʻāno e hāʻawi i nā pule iā Lord Shiva.
ʻElima mau loko - Bhairab Kunda, Saraswati Kunda, Ganesh Kunda, Surya Kunda, a me Nag Kunda - hoʻokumu i ka ʻōnaehana Lake Panchpokhari. Kapa ka poʻe kamaʻāina i kēia mau loko ʻo Jethi, Mahila, Swahili, Kahili, a me Kanchi Kunda — a i ʻole nā kaikaina ʻelima, ka hiapo a ka muli loa. ʻO ka mea nui loa o lākou, ʻo Jethi Kunda, ka mea waiwai nui. Hoʻopuni ka poʻe malihini i ka loko, hāʻawi i ka pule i nā akua.
ʻO ka lua, ʻo Maili Kunda, ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ka home o nā ʻuhane ʻino. ʻO ia ke kumu i hele ʻole ai ka poʻe shamans, a i ʻole Jhankris, ka poʻe hele malihini i ka pūnaewele. ʻO ke Kōmike Hoʻomohala ʻo Panchpokhari - kahi ʻoihana kūloko e mālama ana i ka mālama ʻana i kēia pūnaewele - ua kūkulu i kahi ala a puni ka loko iʻa no ka maʻalahi o nā malihini a me nā malihini.
Ka Luakini
Wahi a kahi palapala ma ka loko loko, ua kūkulu ʻia ka luakini o Lord Shiva a me ke Akua wahine Parvati ma kahi o 2335 mau makahiki i hala e ka mea hahai holoholona i kapa ʻia ʻo Bumba Ruwa Waiba. Hōʻike pū ka palapala i ka moʻolelo ma hope o ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o ka luakini. E like me ka palapala, i kekahi lā, ua ʻike ka mea hahai holoholona ʻo Waiba i kekahi mau mea ʻike ʻole. Ua ʻike ʻo ia he kakaikahi ka poʻe e kanu ana i nā hua raiki ma kahi kiʻekiʻe.
No ka pīhoihoi, hiki ʻo ia i ke kahua mahiko a ʻike iā Lord Shiva iā ia iho e kanu ana i nā kumulāʻau. Akā i ka neʻe ʻana aʻe o ka mea hahai holoholona, ua nalowale nā mea a pau ma laila. No laila, me ka manaʻo nui i kona ʻike ʻana i ka Haku Shiva, wehe ʻo ia i ka bele mai ke koʻi o kāna ʻīlio a kūkulu i ka luakini ma laila. I kēia mau lā, ua kūkulu ka poʻe kamaʻāina i kahi stupa ma luna o ka puʻu kahi i manaʻo ʻia ua ʻike ka mea hahai holoholona i nā kānaka e kanu ana i ka laiki.
Hoomana Hoomana
ʻO ka luakini ma Panchpokhari e mahalo nui ʻia e nā poʻe, ʻoi aku ka poʻe mahiʻai, ma nā wahi a puni. Hāʻawi ka poʻe mahiʻai i nā mea kanu hou a me ka waiū ma ka luakini a pule no ka ʻohi maikaʻi ʻana. ʻImi nō hoʻi nā kahu bipi i nā pōmaikaʻi no ka hoʻohua waiu maikaʻi a me ke olakino maikaʻi o kā lākou holoholona. ʻO ka poʻe i loaʻa ʻole ke keiki i hiki i ka manawa me ka manaʻoʻiʻo ua hāpai lākou ma hope o ka hoʻomana ʻana i ka luakini.
Aia ʻo Jugal Himal, ka mauna kokoke loa mai Kathmandu, ma luna pono o Panchpokhari. He ʻano ʻoliʻoli kēia wahi i ka wā ʻo Janai Poornima festival, a ʻo ia kekahi o nā wahi nui no nā shamans e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ko lākou mākaukau. I ka wā o ka ʻahaʻaina, ʻike ʻia nā shamans aspirant e hoʻomaʻamaʻa pū ana me ko lākou mau haku me ka ʻole o ka ʻaʻahu ʻana i nā kāmaʻa a me ka hula ʻana i ke kani o kā lākou pahu a i ʻole Dhyangro. Makemake nui nā poʻe o nā kaiāulu Hyolmo a me Tamang i ka hana. Hiki i nā poʻe mai ke kaiāulu Brahmin a me Chhetri i kahi e hoʻomanaʻo ai i ko lākou ʻohana i make.
Loaʻa i laila
Hoʻomaka ka huakaʻi i Panchpokhari mai Chautara - ke keʻena nui o Panchpokhari - a me Melamchi. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake e hele nui, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ke kaʻa e hele ai i Bhotang – ka noho hope loa ma mua o Panchpokhari. Eia nō naʻe, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa nā hale yak ma ke ala, kahi e hāʻawi ai i nā noodles paila, kī, a me nā ʻuala paila.
ʻAʻole i loaʻa i ke alahele nā ʻōnaehana kumu. ʻOluʻolu naʻe i ka hele ʻana ma waena o nā ululāʻau paʻapū, e hele ana i kekahi mau muliwai a me nā kahawai ma ke ala. Ke hele nei ke ala hele wāwae ma nā kapa o ka muliwai ʻo Indravati. Liʻiliʻi ka muliwai, a keʻokeʻo ka wai i ka piʻi ʻana o ke ala i luna. Ma mua o kou hiki ʻana i Panchpokhari, e ʻike ʻoe i kahi puʻu lāʻau. He wahi ia i kapa ʻia ʻo Puʻu ʻo Lauribina, a he mea maʻamau ka waiho ʻana i kāu mau koʻokoʻo ma ʻaneʻi.
ʻO ke kaiapuni a me ka nani maoli o Panchpokhari e lawe i kou hanu. ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o ka makani ʻino mauna, nā puʻu a me nā mauna, nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo, a me ka hui ʻana o nā loko ʻelima e lilo ia wahi i wahi pono e kipa aku ai ma ka Himalayas. I nā lā māmā, hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka lani uliuli a me nā ao ma nā loko a pau. ʻO kahi holo pōkole ma kahi o ka hapalua hola e lawe iā ʻoe i kahi puʻu kokoke e hāʻawi ana i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o nā loko a me nā mauna.
ʻOiai he nui ka mana o ia wahi no ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka mākaʻikaʻi, ʻo ka nele o ka ʻoihana, kamaʻilio, a me nā mea hana ʻē aʻe e paʻakikī ai nā mea. ʻO ka hoʻomoana wale nō ke koho e hiki ai i ia wahi. Ma kahi o 8-10 mau lā e hoʻopau ai i ka huakaʻi mai Kathmandu. No ka pōkole o ka hapa nui o nā ala huakaʻi, hiki i ke aupuni a me nā hui huakaʻi ke hoʻohuli i ka poʻe huakaʻi i kēia wahi ma ke kūkulu ʻana i nā mea pono e like me nā hale hoʻokipa a me nā wahi kamaʻilio.
